Exceptional

The property is beautiful. The staff in the reception were very kind on arrival. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport in advance, which was reliable and professional. The driver was on time and was so helpful.
However, in preparation for our trip we tried to contact the hotel multiple times to explore possibilities to help us to arrange an excursion to the volcanoes. All of our emails were ignored. We also tried to ask for help and recommendations while there (for local knowledge) and the staff would just tell us to google options. Not very helpful.
The bar at the hotel is really beautiful. However, the staff at the bar at night are EXTREMELY rude. They act as if you are making them waste their time even though the price of the drinks is not cheap.
Funnily enough the waiters working the breakfast shift were incredible.
Make your plans for excursions independently, do not count on the hotel. And either ignore the rude and snobbish waiters or get yourself to one of the many great bars around (Azotea 7 , Apocadero, etc) for better service.
But the property is nice and the breakfast was incredible.
Simply a beautiful hotel to give the guest a true feeling for this beautiful country. Not a typical sterile chain hotel. Every room is unique, the garden exquisite and the hotel staff exceptional. And the food is great! Stay there!!
Very good Restaurant, the room was ok, the location of the hotel was not safe at night and I did not received an upgrade or a bottle of wine as it was stated in my reservation for a VIP expedia customer.
Stunning property with incredible rooms and an amazing restaurant. Staff is very friendly and accommodating too. By far the best place to stay in San Jose!
This was a very nice hotel that is in an OK part of town. The hotel itself is amazing, the restaurant is very good. I stayed for a couple of nights because it was close to the airport. I would stay here again.
We had a 2 night trip in San Jose after “roughing it” for 2 weeks all over Costa Rica. We splurged on this place so we could get some good rest and we did! Also really liked the hot tub. We did not eat in the restaurant (very pricy) but found a wonderful cafe around the corner for breakfast. Would go back.
